This isolation technology provides timely and reliable control of high side and low side MOSFETs, IGBTs, P Chipsets and other electromechanically commutated power switches.

The ACPL-K342-060E offers a few important advantages to system designers, which make it an attractive option. The device offers an integrated switch, which eliminates the need for an external switch, thus saving both board space and cost. The device also offers a built-in transformer which isolates pulsed signals. The built-in transformer also provides high-voltage isolation between the high-side and low-side drivers. Finally, the ACPL-K342-060E offers short propagation delay, which makes it suitable for high-speed motor control applications.

The ACPL-K342-060E is suitable for working in a wide range of application fields and can be used in many different types of systems. One of the most popular applications for this device is motor control. The device allows for accurate and reliable control of brushed, brushless and sanitary motors. It also provides feedback to the controller, allowing it to be used for speed, direction and position control.

The working principle of the device is quite simple. The device takes an input signal and passes it through a built-in transformer, which isolates the high-side and low-side connections. The output signal is then passed to the high-side MOSFET or IGBT, allowing it to turn the motor on or off according to the input signal. The device also provides accurate timing of the output signals, allowing for precise motor control.

In summary, the ACPL-K342-060E is an isolated gate driver from Avago Technologies suitable for motor control and other power switch applications. It offers built-in switches and transformers, allowing for a simple, low-cost solution. The device also offers short propagation delay, allowing it to be used in high-speed applications.
